Classroom Genetics with Wisconsin Fast Plants®
To Know a Plant, Grow a Plant
Plant a seed
In the mind and with the hand
Use the five senses
To engage and understand.
To investigate: observe,
Measure, analyze, and describe,
Harvest a Fast Plant seed
And make science come alive.

Fast Plants® Relatives
Family Brassicaceae
Wisconsin Fast Plants®
• An entire life cycle in about 40 days
• Ideal for inquiry-based science investigations and for plant biology studies
• Flower 14–18 daysafter planting the seeds
Flower Structure of Brassica rapa
Pollination with Bee-Stick
Seed to Seed in 45 Days!
Ecological Relationships
• Quad
• Place wicks in quad
• Lay down paper before filling quads with soil
• Pre-wet soil
• Pack soil “medium firm”
• Fill ¾ full
Planting Wisconsin Fast Plants® (part 1)
Wicks
• Add 2–3 fertilizer pellets per cell
• Add more soil, then . . .
• Press potting mix in each cell before adding seeds
• Add 2–3 seeds per cell
• Cover lightly with potting mix
Planting Wisconsin Fast Plants® (part 2)
Mendelian Genetics with Brassica rapa
• A genetically controlled mating systemprevents self-fertilization
• Ideal for studies on the nature and inheritance of variation
• Distinctive mutant phenotypes
Readily Observable Phenotypes
(left to right) Rosette, dwarf, elongated, internode
Anthocyaninless (anl)
Yellow-green leaf (ygr1)
Monohybrid Crosses
ANL/ANLanl/anl(hairless)
Purple pigment is dominant to nonpurplepigmentation
(ANL) (anl)
P1 Generation
F1 Generation
Parent and F1 Generation
Observe parent and F1-generation petri dishes and hypothesize what the F2-generation phenotypes will be.
F2 Generation
Count the phenotypes.# of Purple _______# of Green _______
Did you hypothesize correctly?
F2 Generation
NonPurple Purple
A Tool for Inquiry in Mendelian Genetics
Observe P1- and F1-generation petri dishes and hypothesize what the F2-generation phenotypes will be.

Now observe phenotypes of the F2
plates.

Normal Height Purple StemNormal Height Green StemDwarf Purple StemDwarf Green Stem
ros/ros
Rosette-Dwarf (15 days old)
• Gibberellin-deficient mutant
• Compact due to shortened internodes
• Attains normal height after application of 100 ppm gibberellicacid
• Flowers in 18 days
Phenotype Due to a Recessive Gene
Rosette-Dwarf x Non-Purple Stem
• F1 has normal height and purple pigment
• Genotype is ros/ROSanl/ANL
• Vehicle to study dihybrid genetics
Rosette-Dwarf x Non-Purple Stem
Rosette-Dwarf x Non-Purple Stem
• Mendel’s law of segregation and law of independent assortment
• Inheritance of 2 traits
• How genotypes influence phenotypes
• Scientific inquiry, including interpretation of evidence
